night by a fire which originated In
somo manner from tho hot air heating
plant located In tho basement, O, E.
Elder, homeward bound shortly after

extreme cold weather, was promptly
answered. Tho fire, however, had at
tained considerable headway and tho
firemen experienced much difficulty
in getting it under control.
Tho fire gutted tho basement, and
burned tho sills In tho east part of
the building, allowing quite a section
of tho auditorium floor to sag a couplo
of feet, tho walls and celling were
blackened by smoke, tho furniture
lmdly damaged by water; infact tho
interior of tho building presents a
most desolato appearance.
Tho total loss will not fall short of
$3,000, partly covered by insurance.

The Lincoln Highway feature film,
which is to bo shown at tho Keith next
Tuesday afternoon and evening under
tho auspices of tho Chamber of Com
merce, will show scenes of unusual
historical Interest.
As the Lincoln Highway follows
closely tho old trail mado famous In
tho east by the passage of Colonial
and British, Federal and Rebel troops,
and in tlie west by tho early settlors
and Indian lighters, the "pony ex
press," the '49ors, and the vanguard
of civilization who braved a thousand j
dangers and hardships in laying the
Union Pacific, historic interest teems'
along tho way, and in tho film tho
spectator Is treated to a moving pano-j
rama across 3,400 miles of America's
most historic ground.
Almost imedlatcly upon leaving
Now York, interesting historic points
are passed. The Delaware is crossed
not far from the point where Wash
ington embarked his tattered host on
their perilous courso amid tho lloating
blocks of Ico. Tho lilm Journey across
Pennsylvania runs like a page, from
Paoll, near Philadelphia, tho road runs
but a step from Valley Forgo where
Washington's troops spent tho awful
winter of 177S.
In Ohio, once the old frontier,
scenes of Indian lights and massacres
abound. As tho film progresses across
Illinois, Iowat iNobraslca, Wyoming,
Utah, Nevada and California, tho spec
tators will contlnuo to turn tho early
pages of our nation's history; tho his
tory of her progress, her development,
her achievement.
